Hi
I have a starview box (the box) I know I cant watch HD channels through it.Is there a cable receiver that I can buy to watch HD channels in cable?
Or can I ''feed'' the starview signals to a V+ box and watch HDTV?
Please could somebody help?
ManyThanks

You could buy another V+ HD box and mod that (you need a paired card though to get BK and IRD). There are a couple of other HD cable receivers available but I can't remember their names. I think Dreambox have released a HD version.

Sky Sports is in HD and I think there is a couple of movie channels in HD as well.
